A New Web Presence Full Of Handsome Videos

Pianist Launches New Website

The new website is here, but it's not necessarily the page your viewing now. Let's embrace technology. For 2018, the trio (Ed Bennett bass, Tim Rap drums, myself) will be selling E.P.'s (Extended Play, 3-4 selections per) video packages. To encapsulate the new project, a new, refined website was needed at tonypacini.com, and it's official and up. We'll also be re-distributing our previously recorded CDs (Compact Discs) in digital format through the standard status quo now found on the internet. Several "canned" but previously unreleased recording sessions will also be made available. We are constantly filming, so there'll always be a plethora of free and new content, but the bonus will be in the E.P.'s We'll be adding things like; insight to the playing, history of a composition, the arrangements, lead sheets and printed music, files for disklavier player pianos, etc. This is really exciting stuff, so when the announcement comes in 2018 that E.P's are available, we hope you'll come back for those specialities. Additionally, help spread the word about this webpage you're on right now - this little "culdesac on the internet": Visit the main site at; tonypacini.com Remember, to keep coming back for the latest videos, and those E.P.'s Want to see some videos?

Rare Film Footage Found Date Stamped 1959

"Before We Were Born"

My videographer/video moderator Ciro Fusco called me the other day and asked; "Tony! What was the name of that tune you were playing in the last video shoot we did?"
I replied over the phone; "Who Know's?", and so it became. About the film "Who Knows?" - My good friend and colleague Willie Matheis happened to call me the night we were filming at
exactly the time we needed to take a break whilst Ciro made some adjustments on the cameras. I asked Willie over the phone if he was nearby, and if he might be
interested in stepping in the shoot since my drummer Tim Rap was on a gig that night. Willie said; "Sure, my acting chops aren't up, but my playing is."
We're actually playing the chord progression to "There'll Never Be Another You" in the key of Eb (for those of you keeping score at home).
A few weeks later, Ciro was looking over the footage prior to editing, and felt that there was something "retro cool" about this selection.
He did his artistic magic, and then added the following comment in the Vimeo description box: "A rare archival video clip of the greatest jazz pianist Tony Pacini
broadcasted in the Summer of 1959 from the Classic Pianos Studio in Portland Oregon, featuring Ed Bennett on Bass and Willie Matheis on
Tenor Sax." Just to clarify, my mother would have been 10 years old in 1959, and I hadn't even been born yet.
Anyways, that's Ciro's humor for you, but more importantly, watch the video for his artistry. Musically, it's a very be-bop-ish dialog we're having on this one.
I like to think of it expressing a bit of that West Coast jazz feel. Watch more videos...

The Elegant Benson Hotel And 2nd Fridays Of The Month

From "The Sound Of Southwest Broadway" - by Dorothy Kilgore-Inn

The 2nd Friday of the month always brings together an audience, as well as a piano trio that has perfected itself since 1999 -
The Tony Pacini Trio performs every 2nd Friday of each month at the Benson Hotel. "I get to play my arrangements of multiple repertoires;
American songbook standards, jazz musician's compositions, originals, and slightly more adventurous pop tunes.
And, I can do so with my stellar colleagues and friends Ed Bennett bass, and Timothy Rap drums." Join the fun; elegant surroundings, no cover,
full bar, live jazz. Simple.

Solo Piano Serenade Every Thursday At The Benson Hotel

Well, it looks like I'm back to stride and bass lines in the left hand. I'll do my best to make the piano sound wide, harmonically rich,
and occasionally go for that "three handed sound". Join me and the serenade, every Thursday night at the Benson Hotel 309 SW Broadway Portland, Oregon. 8:30pm...

UPDATE: Join me for a solo-serenade on Sunday, May 13th, for "Mother's Day Brunch" at the Benson Hotel, 9:30am-2:30pm. For more info, visit
